Internationally renowned conservationist Kuki Gallmann yesterday was shot by raiders, 37 days since President Uhuru Kenyatta deployed the KDF in Laikipia. Gallman, 73, famous for her memoir, I Dreamed of Africa, was shot in the stomach while on patrol in her Laikipia Nature Conservancy ranch. “Security officers overpowered the heavily armed herders who escaped with gunshot wounds. A security guard at the ranch said the conservationist was shot by herders who had managed to enter her compound. They said Gallman was encouraging security officers to shoot at their livestock, claims Gallman had dismissed.
